Mr. Dean R. Dunphy
Secretary Business, Transportation and Housing Agency
Sacramento, CA

Dear Mr. Dunphy:

 If this were a minor matter, I would not bother you.  But, when the failed actions of an enforcement agency on behalf of a mute and paralyzed citizen, leads to the sustained bondage and henceforth agony of that citizen, it becomes the question of Constitutional Law.  The agency in point, under you jurisdiction, is the Department of Corporations, who was aware of a sequence of events, which they could alter, change or control at any point, thus ameliorating these conditions.
 A one point it was discovered that the care and comprehension of care essential to this type patient was dangerous to her recovery at a facility called Casa Colina.
 Casa Colina was recommended by the patients primary care physician (PCP), Jeoffrey Gramer as appropriate to her care, since Casa Colina specialized in a variety of head injury patients inclusive of stroke victims, gunshot, and closed head injury patients.  During orientation sessions with their administrators, physical therapists and social worker, the patient's family was told that they have treated thousands of cases like my wife's, where in fact, there were only thirty-three cases of her class.
